What IS the earth to you? Just a rock? The oceans produce 65% of the planet's oxygen. They go, and possibly all life on earth goes with them as the atmosphere itself will, for the most part, burn off. If an earth that seems more like the surface of Mars seems acceptable and "just fine", well OK then. It's far from fine to me. If you are just some self hating misanthrope who can't wait to watch humanity suffer, then I guess that you must feel the same way about all other living creatures. You can bet that mankind will wipe most species off the surface of the planet before all 7 billion of us are gone. If your soul hasn't a scrap of compassion in it, then why bother posting on a Democratic discussion board? Someone who says "Don't worry about the earth, it will be just fine" is grossly misinformed at the very best, and both homicidal and suicidal at worst.
